and on the web at Gloss Magazine and Chick Advisor. In addition, she
has been mentioned in the Canadian Press, Fashion Magazine, National
Post, Eye Weekly, Now Magazine, The Toronto Star, and The Globe and
Mail. She was named a Toronto Mille Femmes in 2008 and was honoured to
have a dress named after her by fashion designers Greta Constantine. In
July 2009, she was featured in a window showcase for Holt Renfrew that
was shown in stores across Canada.
